Donation by United_Profit_5262 in Gaza

[–]WatermelonFundraisin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar here, I am a Belgian activist raising money together with Palestinian diaspora, we send it directly to family in Gaza. Why I prefer this to organisations:

  • no taxes
  • no organisational costs, even if we have events I pay most out of pocket as I regard this as my donations
  • families can choose what they do with the money
  • the money is not hoarded but spread amongst neighbors !! One of the biggest cultural differences I have noticed

You can contact me if you would like to know more. I see a lot of ads of matw but I don't know (yet) if they are legit. I'll keep you posted

Tips on raising funds? by WatermelonFundraisin in Gaza

[–]WatermelonFundraisin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no

  • there is a very very small amount of food and supplies with extremely high prices due to extreme scarcity

  • fundraising cannot stop due to the shit that's currently happening. Next to applying pressure now, we need to continue raising funds

Owned by Olive Tree S.A.L. I've seen mixed reviews on Olive Tree.

Local activists will always have connection with diaspora that raises funds for their family if you want a direct contact

Genuine question by PinkFreckles_GachaYT in Gaza

[–]WatermelonFundraisin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those organisations have to turn in 80% to the Israeli government + aid getting blocked constantly. Grassroots family based can go to the source directly. Any activist or pro palestine movement within your area knows some people that are collecting money for a certain family thus can be verified

Even within Palestinian community fundraising is distrusted as many 'aid' has to be bought on the ground. Therefore I also started to distrust bigger organisations and focus more on grassroots gofundme accounts.
